What Is Fuel Polishing?
Fuel polishing is a specialised fuel cleaning process that removes water, sludge, sediment, rust, and microbial contamination from diesel fuel tanks. Over time, diesel fuel can degrade, especially when vessels are stored for long periods or exposed to moisture.
At Mariner Mechanical, our fuel polishing services restore fuel quality and prevent engine damage, injector failure, clogged filters, and fuel system corrosion.
Our Fuel
Polishing Process
Fuel Extraction
We draw fuel directly from the bottom of the tank, where contaminants typically settle.
Multi-Stage Fuel Filtration
The fuel passes through specialised filters designed to remove the following:
- Water contamination
- Sludge and sediment
- Rust and dirt particles
- Microbial contamination fuel build-up
- Diesel bug and algae growth
Fuel Reconditioning
Once cleaned, the fuel is returned to the tank while contaminants are collected separately for safe disposal.
Signs Your Vessel May Need Fuel Polishing
Engine Hesitation or Power Surges
Contaminated fuel can interrupt fuel flow and cause inconsistent engine performance.
Difficulty Reaching Full RPM
Fuel system blockages may prevent the engine from reaching normal operating speeds.
Rough Idling or Stalling
Dirty fuel can cause engines to sputter, stall, or run unevenly.
Frequent Fuel Filter Changes
Repeated filter blockages are often a sign of contaminated fuel.
Dark Fuel or Strong Odours
Discoloured fuel or unusual smells can indicate fuel degradation or microbial contamination.
